We are wee.
 
I don't know if this has been mentioned already but did anyone hear what Peter 'Spida' Everitt had to say about the Suns (and Titans) on the radio this morning? He said the Suns players didn't look like they were hurting enough after losses and specifically slammed Gary for being jovial with his ex-teammates after the game. He also said his team (either St Kilda or Hawthorn) faced a very similar situation in the early 2000s and the club told the players that they didn't deserve to be paid that week and asked them to all donate that week's salary to charity. They all agreed to donate their money and the following week they won.

Too harsh for the Suns or is something similar necessary to create a sense of urgency among the playing group?

Nah I think that's about right - i believe it's a privilege to play for the club, and professional sport in general. It's not a right. The previous performance was disrespectful to themselves, their team mates, club staff, sponsors, their family, members and fans. Nobody earned their pay last week in my opinion - perfect punishment.
Alternatively some brutal physical punishment would have helped also - 2 minute ice bath's neck deep starting at 3am for every goal we lost by? 400m run for every goal we lost by?
 
its a bit rich having all the media focus on Gaz from the honesty session for christs sakes, there are plenty of passengers week in and week out that cant even get into double figures for possessions or hit a target - would like to hear more about them getting their ass into gear

They're after page clicks. Not fairness.

I do feel sorry for Mckenzie Willis. One game in and he's wishing he had that NEAFL bye instead of playing his first game.

Exactly l'm far more worried about Miller, Kolo, Lonegran, Martin, Lemmens, Malcesky, Harbrow, McKenzie, Matera and Nichols all of which l believe can output far far more than they are. The big question for me is why? What has/is happening to these players.?
Ablett is the least of my worries ATM.

If it was a true full on honesty session then "you can't kick" would've been thrown around a bit.

As would of catch this as a panicked player is put on the spot and sprays a comment much like there kicks

The 2016 player salary cap sits at just over $10m so we're talking about around 20k being donated to charity.

Spida said the fans travel and pay to see these guys play so if they don't want to give them their money's worth then they don't deserve to be paid.
 
player 1: You can't kick "insert nickname of player 2"
player 2: Neither can you, at least I beat you in the time trial
player 1: you didn't run very hard on the weekend (insert player 2 name)
player 2: I was cramping
player 1: pretty weak
player 2: yeah
That took 2 Hours...lets go get a soy mocchachino farken frappe and check our swept hair to one side in the mirror together.

It's kind of funny, if we somehow win the next two weeks this pressure probably completely disappears for a few months at minimum

Don't get me wrong, I know how your feeling. I emailed the club straight after the game on Saturday with my disgust on how we performed. But they emailed back Tuesday with a genuine response that all the players had received a damn good whack for their performance. So time to move on and look forward with interest how the lads step up this week. Can't dwell on the negative.
